a five guys burger & fries place opened not long ago near here, so we decided to check it out. noting more overpriced, average food. we took a lot of extras napkins (very cheap ones at that) & were reminded of the garfield strip where he & jon are at some coffee place, jon asks if garfield's ready to go & garfield thinks :for $6 i'm eating the chair. (or something)
the music was way too loud (jimmy john's subs is like that too) i supposed that's to discourage people from staying too long. but i can't see how anyone can stand to work there. we had to practically shout our order to the cashier. the chairs had now padding, so we ate in the car. and the place is decorated with every good write-up & review the company ever had. even in the bathrooms! i guess you could call the style smug superiority. i could see a few, perhaps a dozen spread out over the place, but they must have had at least 100.

burger king's new burger is a version of a "black" whopper they had in japan. except it had black cheese as well as the black bun & used squid ink for the coloring.

i had one the other day & was not impressed.
first; there was supposed to be A-1 sauce (most new burgers at BK have A-1 now, did they buy them out? or is it some kind of partnership, like my brother suggested?) "infused" into the bun. it didn't taste like it. second; my brain kept thinking it was weird to eat something that color, because we associate black with rot. third; because the bun is black you get it in your teeth & it looks bad. so either take a toothbrush and toothpaste with you to brush in the bathroom or rinse our your mouth with water, several times if needed.

You feel alive and energized in the fall. You bring some attitude to the season.
This is the time of year that you love to be out and about. You love the fashions, flavors, and fun that autumn brings.

You like to make every fall memorable, and you don't do anything halfway. You participate in as many traditions as you can.
You are drawn to smells that have a strong, unique scent. Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and even cumin are good fall scents for you.

You consider fall to be a cozy time of year, and you like to be as comfy as possible as the air chills.
You stay stylish, but you look for clothes you can cuddle up in. Big fluffy sweaters are your best friend.

You like to find a nice spot and stay there a while to savor everything autumn. You love your home as well as any warm and cozy indoor spot.
And you don't mind braving the elements for the right fall activity... as long as you're properly bundled up.

the local convenience store has a fall-spiced cookie out already (in addition to pumpkin-shaped candies they've ad for a week or so.) it's not even september!

it used to be that stuff was closer to the actual season it's supposed to be in. back to school stuff was at the end of july, now it's right after the fourth of july stuff is moved out. halloween-themed things didn't start showing up until at least mid-september. thanksgiving things came out right after halloween & christmas followed right after turkey day. now those three holidays are combined into hallow-thanks-mas. bleh!

and can we all agree that the pumpkin spice stuff for fall & peppermint stuff in winter is just foo much?

my brother & i make these sandwiches every so often that are almost dagwood-like. with 3 or 4 kinds of meat, almost that many kinds of cheese, with some sort of condiment. on better than supermarket bread (some times from panera bread) & doritos to not only to have along with them, but also to put on the sandwich and crush it slightly to break up the chips.

we haven't done this in a while. we keep meaning to, but it always falls through.

the extra long pulled pork & the bacon mozzarella cheeseburger. the pulled pork was really nothing special and i need to learn that pulled pork nothing to get worked up about.
the second sandwich was much better, IMHO. i might even get it again.

they have a "red velvet" oreo shake which just seems to be the regular one with red food dye in it. so i'm not interested in it.

Your look is always chic and dignified. It's hard to pull off class in a swimsuit, but if anyone can do it, it's you.
You enjoy a good deal of luxury, and for you, a little of the finer things in life go a long way. You like the best of what summer has to offer.

You are the type who likes to enjoy the spoils of success, and you don't mind working hard for your high-end summer playtime.
You do everything with style and panache. You really know how to make an entrance, even if it's just into a pool.

every couple of years i have to b reminded why we don't like mcdonald's. tried the new sirloin burger & the clubhouse burger. the sirloin is nothing great & the caramelized onions (more like burnt onions) made me regurgitate.

As long as you can have a no strings fling, you're happy! You don't like anyone to get attached.
You just want to get out there and experience the world. You don't want to be tied down at this point in your life.

You're very inquisitive. You aren't satisfied until all your questions have been answered.
You like to work in group settings, but you'll rarely step up as leader. You think everyone should have an equal voice.

You are gentle and sweet to those around you, but that doesn't mean you don't have a funky side.
You have a deep understanding of the world, and you're willing to stand your ground to make sure that things are done right.

You are a strong individual, although you tend to blend in most of the time. You like to find your niche and your people.
Like a spring flower, you have a uniqueness that is stunning in its own way. You are at your best when you're just being you.

they have this turkey ruben sandwich with coleslaw instead of sauerkraut called rachel. i'd like to try it, despite it being on rye bread, but i'm not sure if i can bring myself to ask for the rachel.
"the rachel" is that stupid haircut that the character rachel had on the show friends during the first year, which was very popular for a time. maybe i can just ask for "that rachel sandwich"?

somewhere i (semi) jokily suggested that feb. 29 should be called quantum leap day. but since there's only a leap day once every four years, feb. 28 would be the "place holder" for this unofficial day.

so celebrate this day (if you're so inclined) by watching episodes or the show or reading the novels. or even reading fan-fic, if that's the sort of thing you like.
